"These Small Things Are So Important" by Jayapataka Swami.

So, in this way there are many little, little things in devotional service which edify and build up our spiritual potency. We think they are little, but they are very important. Offering water to Tulasi and doing Tulasi puja, offering the incense and saying the prayers to Mother Tulasi. How many of you have Tulasi plants in your house? You see, this is something any householder should have. You can get the seeds from someone that has, and if you plant the seed, tulsi will come. One tulsi can purify the whole household by regularly worshiping, because the tulsi plant is very dear to Lord K������a. She has appeared in this material world from the spiritual world in order to make our way back to K������a easier. Then reading Bhāgavat-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is very important. To read these books. In the Skanda Purana and other Puranas, it mentions how these books are very important.
